Is there a way to access the args of a parent container? For example, suppose I define a template tag that is designed to be used inside an <MTEntries>...
I don't have time to test this theory, but the MT4 template compiler stashes a parent element in each token. You should be able to achieve what you want by...
... Thanks, Tim, I will give that a try. ... Can you elaborate on this one? Do you mean that I can grab the actual $tmpl object from the stash, from within...
... In MT::Template::context that MT::Builder::compile calls to create a context object for the page being built, that method stashes the template object with...
... Is there any particular reason you ask? Did something change that might make you wonder about compatibility or whatever? /I'm/ asking because someone's ...

... Hey Kevin, I've began to do some hacking with the macros (it's very nice for microformats) but I can't get it to work in the content entry itself. If I add...
... Sorry if I was unclear about how this would work. expand_macros isn't a built-in feature of MT, it's just a name I made up as an example of a global...
Mark, thanks for the example. Here's another tip--when I'm working on plugin code that involves regexes, what I'll often do first is something like this: sub...
Whoops, hit the wrong key and Gmail went nuts and then sent the message ;) *This* is what I do: sub bold_mark_filter { MT->log('blog_mark_filter started'); my...
